System Response

Depending on the type of this system message (warning, error), you may
be able to save the purchase order or scheduling agreement. However,
problems are likely to arise in connection with follow-on functions (see
below).

How to fix this error?

Check the tax code. Without a tax code, it is not possible to update the
cumulative supplier business volumes at the time of "PO/scheduling
agreement" or "goods receipt".
Posting the document without a tax code (in the event that this system
message is a warning) will cause a message to appear in the integrated
inbox of the employee responsible when the system tries - and fails - to
update the supplier business volumes.
